If that threshold is met, the tax position is then measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement and is recognized in the Organization's consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, there are no accruals for uncertain tax positions. Tax years from December 31, 2018 through the current year remain open for examination by federal and state tax authorities.
